Do you remember when you were younger what the last day of school felt like? For The Sonnet House, that’s what the end of wedding season feels like. It’s a great time to reflect back on the past year and certainly exciting to get started on the planning process for many of our 2018 brides.

We don’t know about you guys but when we attend a wedding one of the first things we want to see is pretty simple: the bride! By the time you arrive at the wedding you’ve received a save the date, shower invitation(s), formal invitation, possibly the after-rehearsal dinner invitation, and the big day is finally here to see what vision the couple has pulled off. But face it, what you really want to see is the dress.

Birmingham brides are super fortunate to have a wide array of salons to choose from when hunting for that perfect gown. While we still see a small percentage of brides-to-be travelling to shop, we definitely see most wedding dresses purchased locally. If you happen to be a bride still searching for that perfect gown, please take note of the salons mentioned in this post because they are all top notch.

End of the year reflection posts are usually our favorites. While we are still waiting on a few of our November and December bride’s wedding photos to be finished, we truly hope you’ve enjoyed this recap of our favorite wedding dresses of 2017.

As always, we owe a huge thanks to the many wedding photographers we work with throughout the year. If they didn’t capture the days so perfectly (or if they weren’t willing to share their beautiful work,) we wouldn’t have posts like this. We cannot wait to see many of you back next year!
